SUDBURY KICKBOXING ACADEMY

Where baby steps turn into giant leaps.

DAWN RAE CULGIN

Coach and Mentor

Dawn Culgin’s Martial Arts journey started as a teenager when she joined a Karate school. After 30+ years of experience – having trained in Karate, Kickboxing, Muay Thai, and Boxing – she created Sudbury Kickboxing Academy, a dojo focused on Kickboxing and Muay Thai with the foundations of Karate etiquette and respect.

In 2012, after years of dedicated training, Dawn became a competitive kickboxer competing Internationally, Nationally, and Provincially. She was a multi-time K1 Champ, Low Kick Champ, North American Grand Prix Champ, and a WAKO (World Association of Kickboxing Organizations) bronze medalist.

Dawn represented Team Canada on four occasions at World’s in Brazil (2013), Serbia (2015), Ireland (2015), and Hungary (2017). Dawn is a second-degree black belt in traditional Okinawan Goju, RyuSyoKai and also one of four WAKO Canada National Team Coaches for the 2022-2024 term.

In 2014, Dawn started her own Kickboxing school with a women’s only program, Onna Bugeisha, before opening Sudbury Kickboxing Academy in January, 2018. She is a WAKO Level 2 Coach, a Boxing Ontario Level 1 Apprentice Coach, as well as completed both the WAKO and Muay Thai Ontario Officials courses. She is also a Level 1 certified Precision Nutrition coach.

Dawn’s fitness journey goes beyond Martial Arts – since 2008 she earned several fitness qualifications including becoming a canfitpro FIS (Fitness Instructor Specialist), a canfitpro PTS (Personal Training Specialist), and an Agatsu Level 1 Kettlebell Instructor. She is also LesMills Body Pump and Body Combat certified and certified as a Jillian Michael’s Body Shred instructor.

Dawn works with everyone from newcomers entering the fitness world for their first time to accomplished competitors. A coach, an instructor, and a mentor – Dawn has built Sudbury Kickboxing Academy to what it is today. A place where people not only share her love of Martial Arts and Fitness, but a community where members support each other like family.
